Following are the treatment measures that are taken by the doctors to treat and cure Charcot Foot:
- Walking Brace: Braces and other assistive devices such as crutches and walkers help reduce the pressure on the feet.
- Customized Walking Boot: After the initial swelling is reduced, the bones begin to fuse back together. A custom walking boot aka diabetic show must be worn by the patient to avoid complications. These shoes are specially designed to decrease the risk of ulcers too.
- Medication: Medications recommended by doctors are given to patients to reduce the swelling and pain.
- Surgery: When the condition doesn’t respond well to the non-surgical methods, surgery must be performed. Surgery involves the removal of the prominent bone by shaving it off. There are various types of surgeries that depend on the severity of the condition.
- Casting: When diagnosed at an early stage, Charcot can be treated with a cast or a cast boot. It protects the foot and ankle by reducing the pressure which in turn reduces the swelling.
